"Teacher, how co your complexion is so poor?"
In front of the Aurora Base's main doors, Chu Shiduo sat in the driver's seat. Seeing Tan Xin coming out from the base with an ugly complexion, while getting off the car to open the door for Tan Xin, he spoke in doubt.
Tan Xin did not answer. He sat silently in the backseat, his gaze looking towards the Aurora Base incomparably complex.
"Teacher?"
"...Let's go, return to headquarters."
"Okay."
Chu Shiduo sensed that Tan Xin's emotions weren't right. He didn't ask further, silently driving the vehicle out of the base's scope, approaching towards the Law Enforcer Headquarters.
Tan Xin looked at the streets and pedestrians constantly sweeping past outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking about,
He suddenly spoke:
"Where is Han ng?"
"Han ng?" Chu Shiduo was stunned for a mont. "Speaking of this, there are so matters I need to report to you about..."
...
A burst of a car's horn sound suddenly rang out from behind.
Han ng looked back. He only saw a black car currently parked outside White Pigeon Square. The dark side car window slowly rolled down. Tan Xin sat in the backseat, currently smiling and looking at him face to face.
Seeing this, Han ng's eyes narrowed slightly, getting up and walking over there.
"How did you know I was here?" Han ng asked.
"I didn't know, I was just preparing to return to headquarters, and happened to pass by here." Tan Xin pointed at the seat beside him. "Get in."
Han ng hesitated for a mont, but still pulled open the car door and got in. As the vehicle slowly started, Tan Xin's voice also rang out once again:
"I heard that during the court trial process, a small accident occurred?"
"It's alright."
"This matter was my negligence. I didn't expect that so dying cats and dogs, would randomly bite people in exasperation." Tan Xin smiled. "However, the final result was still good."
"If you are here to apologize to , then there is no need."
"That is not so, I ca to look for you because there is proper business." Tan Xin's expression gradually beca serious. "You just ca out from the Black Prison, you have no place to settle down in this city, nor any assets. If you have nowhere to go, I can recomnd a place to you..."
"You said before, you wouldn't order to go do anything."
"This of course is not an order, just a suggestion of mine, you can choose to refuse." Tan Xin paused for a mont. "I just feel, in that place, you should be able to find so matters that you are interested in..."
"For example?"
"For example, the truth of Aurora City, and also... the secrets of the Enforcers."
Hearing this sentence, Han ng's brows gradually furrowed. He stared at Tan Xin for a long ti, speaking word by word:
"You an, the Aurora Base?"
"That's right."
"If I rember correctly, that is the entire Domain's highest level confidential area. Even high-level Enforcers have no right to enter and exit at will."
"Indeed." Tan Xin nodded his head. He exchanged a glance with Han ng,
"Then if I say, I have a way to let you go in... are you going or not?"
...
Inside the Courtyard, Jian Changsheng sat alone by the pond, holding a Fishing Rod and lazily yawning.
Chen Ling went to work, Chu Muyun went on house calls. In the entire Courtyard there was only him, a left-behind Old Man. Yet it just so happened that at this mont Jian Changsheng was right when his severe injuries had healed, brimming with energetic vitality, but here apart from fishing, his biggest physical exertion was just washing clothes...
But he, a dignified Dusk Society [Six of Spades], a terrifying existence who stirred up a storm of blood and rain within Aurora City, what was the aning of him just washing clothes here all day long?
Just as Jian Changsheng was sighing in despair, the Courtyard's main doors were opened. Two figures walked in shoulder-to-shoulder.
"How co you guys ca back together?" Seeing this scene from his peripheral vision, Jian Changsheng asked in astonishnt.
Chu Muyun pushed his glasses: "Us coming back together, is of course because there is an important matter..."
"Important matter?"
Jian Changsheng was stunned for a mont, following which he seed to have thought of sothing, a color of excitent erging in his eyes!
"[Six of Spades], are you ready to welco your first mission?" The corners of Chu Muyun's mouth raised slightly.
Hearing this sentence, Jian Changsheng almost cried out loud on the spot. He tossed the fishing rod in his hands to the side with one grab, instantly feeling that his entire body was filled with power, hurriedly asking:
"What mission is it?? Who do you want to kill!?"
"It's not killing people, it's infiltrating a place, to investigate so matters."
"...A place?"
"How much do you guys understand about the Aurora Base?"
Hearing the four words Aurora Base, Jian Changsheng was deep in thought. After all, he grew up inside Aurora City since he was young, and he had also heard quite a lot about so matters.
"It's said that, after the Great Cataclysm occurred over three hundred years ago, humanity's original order thoroughly collapsed. After the large-scale Gray Realm Convergence began, only nine human bases were preserved and left behind. Experiencing the lengthy exploration of the survivors, the active areas of the base people gradually expanded. Later, going through reconstruction and expansion, it then evolved into a 'Domain'.
From the Aurora Base, to establishing Aurora City, and then to later demarcating the Seven Great Districts... The entire Aurora Domain, is all the result of expanding outwards bit by bit with the Aurora Base as the center back then."
"That's right." Chu Muyun nodded his head slightly. "The Aurora Base, is exactly your mission target."
"What are we going there to do?" Chen Ling asked.
"Confirm the Lord of the Aurora's state, and investigate those Explosives that were secretly transported into it, where they all are."
Previously Chen Ling reported the news concerning the "Hand of Salvation" to the Dusk Society. The crux within it was precisely the secret transportation of the explosives. Now it seed, the Dusk Society had already begun to attach importance to this doubtful point, even taking the initiative to dispatch people to go investigate.
"The Lord of the Aurora's... state?" Chen Ling read sothing from Chu Muyun's tone. "What's wrong with the Lord of the Aurora?"
Jian Changsheng's gaze was similarly doubtful. It seed the na Lord of the Aurora, was extrely unfamiliar to him.
"It seems you guys truly don't understand the Lord of the Aurora in the slightest." Chu Muyun sighed heavily. "Do you guys know, why the Aurora Domain is able to resist the Gray Realm Convergence?"
"Because of the Lord of the Aurora. His Domain suppressed the Gray Realm Convergence... which is also the aurora in the sky above Aurora City."
"That's right. But right now, his lifespan has already walked to its end." Chu Muyun raised his hand, pointing at the sky overhead. "You guys guess, if the Lord of the Aurora died, what would the ending of this Domain be like?"
Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng simultaneously stood stunned on the spot.
Chen Ling had previously been sowhat in doubt, as to why the aurora suddenly retreated back to Aurora City, exposing the Seven Great Districts outside. At that ti he and Han ng suspected that a problem occurred with the Lord of the Aurora's state. Now he finally knew the answer.
"The Lord of the Aurora is going to die? How could it be like this?" Chen Ling frowned in incomprehension. "Hasn't he already lived for over three hundred years?"
"The Lord of the Aurora when getting to the root of the matter, is also only human... A human's lifespan, how could they live to three hundred years?"
Chu Muyun shook his head. "If it wasn't because over three hundred years ago, he voluntarily accepted the Potion injection, falling into 'hibernation', the Aurora Domain fundantally couldn't walk to today... But even so, this can only delay his aging. A person will always die, this is an insurmountable end point.
And right now, Aurora City's end point is also coming..."
